Because many individuals, couples and families are unable (for many good reasons) to make it into office based appointments, I make myself available to provide online Zoom and phone sessions.
Currently Accepting New Clients. Specializing in Couples, Addiction and Anxiety. I bring to my practice a welcoming and friendly personal style that puts clients at ease allowing them to communicate their needs and goals within a safe non-judgmental atmosphere. I worked in many clinical health care settings before venturing into private practice, which has brought into my work a well- breadth of clinical experience, including a wide array of therapeutic approaches, that I have successfully integrated while working with with hundreds of clients over the past 26 plus years.

Hello! As a clinician, I have discovered the beauty of weaving mindfulness into treatment plans with clients. I have worked with clients who have depression, anxiety, ADHD, struggles with grief and a variety of other issues. My approach is very client-centered and non-directive and therefore client-led, in order to allow the client to be an equal partner in the client/therapist relationship.

Life is not always easy. Often we carry symptoms from our past that cause us to struggle on our journey. Talk therapy can help alleviate those difficulties so that you do not have to suffer in silence.

Working in New Glasgow and Halifax; I specialize in helping younger clients ages 5 and up. I also have a history of working with seniors and have always connected well with this population. I have also served many adult clients during my practicum period. Because I am a young person myself, I come into sessions with an informed understanding of today's climate for young people and my own lived experiences. There are unique pressures that many young people find themselves navigating. Whether it is grade school, university, relationships, body image, self-esteem. anxiety, depression or concerns over financial stability and housing.

If you find yourself struggling with aspects of your life and feeling overwhelmed with how to cope, I believe that therapy could be a beneficial experience for you. Many people experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, or struggle with things like relationships or coping with stress and trauma, and aren't sure where to start. I provide therapy to adults (19+) who are looking to make changes and learn new skills to start a more positive and healthy life.

Hello! As a clinician, I try to use both a practical and client-centred approach to people's presenting issues. I always use a strengths-based approach, believing that each of us is resilient and capable of managing difficult times while instilling hope for better days ahead. Sometimes we just need a little extra insight or help along the way. I offer an empathic, non-judgemental space with reflective feedback and a secure space. Formally, I draw on a collection of frameworks such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
